Deliver the trophy hunting import ban

Australia continues to rank among the top importers of wildlife trophies from protected species. These animals are killed for recreation, and their body parts are brought back as souvenirs.

Trophy hunting is not conservation–it's cruelty.

At the May 2025 federal election, the Albanese Government promised to ban trophy imports from 20 species, including bears, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wolves, and polar bears. But the ban has not yet been implemented.

Until it is, Australia remains part of a trade the public overwhelmingly opposes. The Government must now act to finalise and enforce the promised ban.

Dear {contact_data~salutation} {contact_data~lastName}, 

Thank you for the Albanese Government's election commitment to ban the import of hunting trophies from a range of protected species, including bears, giraffes, zebras, hippos, wolves, and polar bears.  This is a much-needed step that reflects the values of the Australian public and shows leadership on wildlife protection.

I'm writing to urge you to implement this commitment as soon as possible. Each day of delay risks more animals being killed for trophies and brought into Australia. 

Australia has already banned trophy imports from African lions, elephants, and southern white rhinos. Expanding these protections is the logical next step and one the public clearly supports. 

I respectfully ask that you act without delay to finalise and enforce the promised import ban. 

Yours sincerely,
